Jumping in to offer some hugs

Those last few days before DS was born I was teary all the time, so keep up the crying...it really does help I think. As for a S&S. I asked my midwife to have a look at my cervix at 39 wks, because I was starting to get some contractions, but I refused a S&S. I am glad I refused, because I dilated ever so slowly over the next week and had a fabulous birth!!!! Your body knows what it's doing and you sound wonderfully confident in that...keep visualising that fantastic birth!!!!

So excited for you! Its so wonderful to have a second bub. I am in constant ecstatic raptures!
